Wendelstein Rack Railway
The Wendelstein Rack Railway〔(【引用サイトリンク】 The "Wendelstein" rack railway / cogwheels )〕 ((ドイツ語:Wendelsteinbahn)), sometimes just referred to as the Wendelstein Railway, is an electrically-driven metre gauge rack railway (with several adhesion sections) that runs up the Wendelstein in the Upper Bavarian Limestone Alps. Together with the Wendelstein Cable Car (''Wendelstein-Seilbahn'') it is operated by the ''Wendelsteinbahn GmbH''. The mountain railway climbs through a total height of . The Wendelstein Railway is one of only four working rack railways in Germany, the others being the Bavarian Zugspitze Railway, the Drachenfels Railway and the Stuttgart Rack Railway.
== Conception ==
The construction of the Wendelstein Railway was the vision of privy councillor (''Geheimer Kommerzienrat''), Dr. h.c. Otto von Steinbeis, an industrialist, who was involved in forestry and agriculture in the alpine foreland as well as logging in Bosnia on a grand scale and built, in parallel with that, an extensive light railway (''Kleinbahn'') network. In 1908 he published his plans and on 4 February 1910 Prince-Regent Luitpold signed the concession deed for the construction of the Wendelstein Rack Railway.
The original long route, running from Brannenburg over the eastern flank of the mountain, has seven tunnels, eight galleries and twelve bridges. In order to keep services running even in winter a route along the steep rock faces of the Wildalpjoch and the Soin was chosen instead of the cheaper and easier route on the slopes of the Mitteralm and Reindleralm alpine meadows.
